Use of Global Interactions in Efficient Quantum Circuit Constructions Use of global interactions in efficient quantum circuit constructions Dmitri Maslov1, Yunseong Nam2;3 1 National Science Foundation, Arlington, VA 22230, USA 2 QuICS, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA 3 IonQ Inc., College Park, MD 20740, USA [email protected], [email protected] January 1, 2018 Abstract In this paper we study the ways to use a global entangling operator to efficiently implement circuitry common to a selection of important quantum algorithms. In particular, we focus on the circuits composed with global Ising entangling gates and arbitrary addressable single-qubit gates. We show that under various circumstances the use of global operations can substantially improve the entangling gate count. Keywords: quantum circuits, quantum circuit optimization, global entangling operators, trapped ions, SIMD, quantum computing. 1 Introduction Trapped atomic ions [1] and superconducting circuits [2] are two examples of quantum information process- ing (QIP) approaches that have delivered small yet already universal and fully programmable machines. In superconducting circuits qubit interactions are enabled through custom designed electronic hardware involv- ing Josephson junctions and microwave resonators [2]. Different interactions can be controlled individually to invoke the two-qubit gates. A global coupling, however, would not necessarily be natural to such a system, due to the difficulty of placing and connecting O(n2) individual resonators in the same area as n qubits. This said, it is possible to couple Josephson junction qubits to a single resonator mode, thereby enabling global interactions [3]. In trapped ion QIP, on the other hand, global interactions are more naturally realized as an extension of common two-qubit gate interactions [4,5,6,7,8]. In fact, the ability to implement arbitrary selectable two-qubit interactions generally requires a higher level of control, with individually focused external fields addressing each qubit [1]. Given the ease of implementing a global interaction over these two leading QIP approaches, we consider the use of global entangling gates, particularly applied to the trapped ions technology. We note that the results are technology-independent and therefore apply to any QIP approach, so long as proper global entangling operations are constructible. One particular interaction available in the trapped ions approaches [1,7,8] to quantum computing is the so-called Molmer-Sorensen gate [9], also known as the XX coupling or Ising gate. To achieve computational arXiv:1707.06356v3 [quant-ph] 29 Dec 2017 universality, Molmer-Sorensen gate (either local addressable or global) is complemented by arbitrary single- qubit operations. These may come in different flavors, including the addressable R(θ; φ) rotations [1] of which at most two are needed to implement arbitrary single-qubit gate [10], or the addressable RZ rotation, which together with global RX and RY rotations also gives the single-qubit universality [7,8]. Depending on the specifics, the control apparatus may allow the application of an XX gate to a selectable pair of qubits [1], globally [4,5,6,7,8], or globally to a subset of qubits [11, 12]. We furthermore note that the existing control apparatus described in reference [1] allows the application of the global Molmer-Sorensen (GMS) gates [11], however, to date, this approach has not been studied in detail. In each case above, XX gate comes at a higher cost (expressed in terms of the duration and/or average fidelity) compared to the single-qubit gates. In this paper, we focus on minimizing the number of times an XX gate is called|be it addressable local or global, thereby targeting the most expensive resource in quantum computations using trapped ions QIP. 1 Specifically, we center our efforts on finding the instances of quantum computations that admit a more efficient implementation using global entangling gates compared to what may be accomplished using local entangling gates. Given that the control by global entangling operators applies a certain operation to multiple data, it can be thought of as a quantum analogue of classical SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) architecture. Our goal in this paper is thus to demonstrate practical advantages of quantum SIMD architecture beyond those examples already known. Previous work demonstrated how to implement the parity function (fan-in gate in our terminology) using a constant number of two global entangling pulses [13]. We revisit the implementation of fan-in in Subsection 3.1, since it is relevant to our more advanced constructions. Reference [14, Figure 5] shows a two-GMS gate construction of the number excitation operator used in quantum chemistry simulations [15, 16]. References [7, 17] study the ways to implement quantum algorithms efficiently on a trapped ion quantum computer with the two-qubit gates enabled by the global entangling operator, concentrating on the case featuring anywhere between two to four qubits. Reference [10] focuses on quantum circuit compiling in the scenario when local addressable two-qubit gates are available. Reference [18] revisits the two-GMS gate parity measurement implementation of [13] and reduces the number of global pulses needed to just one (this construction can be inferred from Fig.2), and shows how to measure the eigenvalue of a product of Pauli matrices using only a constant number of global entangling pulses. In contrast, here, we determine a set of important quantum circuits, focusing on the computations of arbitrary size, that can be accomplished using fewer entangling pulses in cases when global entangling control is available. The new circuits developed in our work include stabilizer circuits, Toffoli-4 gate, Toffoli-n gate, Quantum Fourier Transformation, and Quantum Fourier Adder circuits, thereby substantively extending the set of known efficient circuitry based on the global entangling pulse. The results are directly accessible for implementation over trapped ions approaches featuring global control, and make a case for mixed local/global entangling control. Computational universality of the control given by selectable two-qubit couplings and arbitrary single-qubit gates was the subject of an early foundational study establishing the upper bound of O(n34n) and the lower bound of Ω(4n) on the number of the CNOT gates required to implement an arbitrary unitary [19]. The upper bound was later improved to O(4n) in [20, 21], at which point it asymptotically met the lower bound, settling the question of asymptotically optimal control by the entangling CNOTs gates. For logical-level fault tolerant circuits one more step is needed|specifically, that of decomposing all gates into a discrete fault-tolerant library, such as the one given by the Clifford and T gates. With the CNOT being a Clifford gate, the remaining step on top of asymptotically optimal constructions of [20, 21] is to decompose arbitrary single-qubit unitaries into Clifford+T circuits. Euler angle decomposition may be used to express arbitrary single-qubit unitary as a circuit with no more than three axial rotations [22], and z-rotations can be synthesized optimally as single-qubit Clifford+T circuits [23, 24]. Given additional resources such as in-circuit measurement and classical feedback, even better solutions exist [25]. The upper bound of O(4n) on the number of CNOT gates [20, 21] gives rise to the upper bound of O(4n) on the number of GMS gates, since it can be easily established that a CNOT gate can be obtained using no more than constantly many GMS gates. Indeed, a 4-GMS implementation of the CNOT gate can be obtained by applying the two-GMS construction illustrated in Fig.1 to n qubits with χ = π=2, and then again to n−1 qubits with χ = −π=2, selecting one specific qubit-to-qubit interaction that remains active. With the use of the maximal size GMS gates, this may be a slightly larger construction, relying on Fig.8 to express smaller GMS gates in terms of the maximal size GMS gate, but one with constantly many GMS gates nonetheless. In most practical cases, one may desire to implement a specific well-structured computation, and those fre- quently come with known implementations relying on fewer than O(4n) entangling gates. Control by local addressable operations is clearly easier to work with as far as implementing quantum com- putations is concerned, since most quantum algorithms are expressed in terms of local operations. Secondly, (n−1)n the number of arbitrarily selectable two-qubit operations, 2 , for an n-qubit computation (recall that the XX coupling does not distinguish between gate's control and its target), is higher than 1, being the number of individual full-size global gates. Thirdly, an arbitrary circuit over two-qubit local control experiences only a constant factor blow up if needs be implemented as a circuit over global control (this is no more true if global control needs be expressed in terms of local control). These observations suggest that the local control is over- all more nimble when it comes to implementing arbitrary quantum algorithms. However, it is not always the case that the implementations using local addressable gates are more efficient compared to those over global 2 1 1 2 GMS3(−χ) 2 GMS4(χ) = XX(χ) 3 XX(χ) 3 XX(χ) 4 4 Figure 1: Example of the usefulness of global gates.

Indeed, it is known how to implement the 3-qubit Toffoli gate with only three size-3 GMS gates [7,8], whereas the best known implementation over two-qubit local addressable control requires five entangling gates [22].

  • Scalability and High-Efficiency of an $(N+ 1) $-Qubit Toffoli Gate Sphere
    Scalability and high-efficiency of an (n + 1)-qubit Toffoli gate sphere via blockaded Rydberg atoms Dongmin Yu1, Yichun Gao1, Weiping Zhang2,3, Jinming Liu1 and Jing Qian1,3,† 1State Key Laboratory of Precision Spectroscopy, Department of Physics, School of Physics and Electronic Science, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200062, China 2Department of Physics and Astronomy, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Tsung-Dao Lee Institute, Shanghai 200240, China and 3Collaborative Innovation Center of Extreme Optics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan, Shanxi 030006, China∗ The Toffoli gate serving as a basic building block for reversible quantum computation, has man- ifested its great potentials in improving the error-tolerant rate in quantum communication. While current route to the creation of Toffoli gate requires implementing sequential single- and two-qubit gates, limited by longer operation time and lower average fidelity. We develop a new theoretical protocol to construct a universal (n + 1)-qubit Toffoli gate sphere based on the Rydberg blockade mechanism, by constraining the behavior of one central target atom with n surrounding control atoms. Its merit lies in the use of only five π pulses independent of the control atom number n which leads to the overall gate time as fast as 125ns and the average fidelity closing to 0.999. The maximal filling number of control atoms can be∼ up to n = 46, determined by the spherical diame- ter which is equal to the blockade radius, as well as by the nearest neighbor spacing between two trapped-atom lattices. Taking n = 2, 3, 4 as examples we comparably show the gate performance with experimentally accessible parameters, and confirm that the gate errors mainly attribute to the imperfect blockade strength, the spontaneous atomic loss and the imperfect ground-state prepa- ration.

  • Chapter 5. Atoms in Optical Lattices
    Strongly correlated systems in atomic and condensed matter physics Lecture notes for Physics 284 by Eugene Demler Harvard University September 18, 2014 2 Chapter 5 Atoms in optical lattices Optical lattices provide a powerful tool for creating strongly correlated many- body systems of ultracold atoms. By choosing different lattice geometries one can obtain very different single particle dispersions. The ratio of the interaction and kinetic energies can be controlled by tuning the depth of the lattice. 5.1 Noninteracting particles in optical lattices The simplest possible periodic optical potential is formed by overlapping two counter-propagating beams. Electric field in the resulting standing wave is E(z) = E0 sin(kz + θ) cos !t (5.1) Here k = 2π/λ is the wavevector of the laser light. Following the general recipe for AC Stark effects, we calculate electric dipolar moments induced by this field in the atoms, calculate interaction between dipolar moments and the electric field, and average over fast optical oscillations (see chapter ??). The result is the potential 2 V (z) = −V0 sin (kz + θ) (5.2) 2 where V0 = α(!)E0 =2, with α(!) being polarizability. It is common to express 2 2 V0 in units of the recoil energy Er = ~ k =2m. In real experiments one also needs to take into account the transverse profile of the beam. Hence V (r?; z) = exp{−2r2=w2(z)g×V (z). In most experiments the main effect of the transverse profile is only to renormalize the parabolic confining potentia. Combining three perpendicular sets of standing waves we get a simple cubic lattice V (r) = −Vx 0 cosqxx − Vy 0 cosqyy − Vz 0 cosqzz (5.3) 3 4 CHAPTER 5.

Received: 14 March 2013; in revised form: 3 May 2013 / Accepted: 8 May 2013 / Published: 16 May 2013 Abstract: Entanglement concentration is of most importance in long distance quantum communication and quantum computation. It is to distill maximally entangled states from pure partially entangled states based on the local operation and classical communication. In this review, we will mainly describe two kinds of entanglement concentration protocols. One is to concentrate the partially entangled Bell-state, and the other is to concentrate the partially entangled W state. Some protocols are feasible in current experimental conditions and suitable for the optical, electric and quantum-dot and optical microcavity systems. Keywords: quantum entanglement; entanglement concentration; quantum communication 1. Introduction Quantum communication and quantum computation have attracted much attention over the last 20 years, due to the absolute safety in the information transmission for quantum communication and the super fast factoring for quantum computation [1,2].

A slab of such a material can focus light by negative refraction, an imaging technique strikingly different from conventional positive refractive index optics, where curved surfaces bend the rays to form an image of an object. Here we demonstrate Veselago lensing for matter waves, using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. A relativistic, that is, photon-like, dispersion relation for rubidium atoms is realized with a bichromatic optical lattice potential. We rely on a Raman p-pulse technique to transfer atoms between two different branches of the dispersion relation, resulting in a focusing that is completely analogous to the effect described by Veselago for light waves.

    Quantum macroscopicity versus distillation of macroscopic superpositions Benjamin Yadin1 and Vlatko Vedral1, 2 1Atomic and Laser Physics, Clarendon Laboratory, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PU, UK 2Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117543 (Dated: October 7, 2018) We suggest a way to quantify a type of macroscopic entanglement via distillation of Greenberger- Horne-Zeilinger states by local operations and classical communication. We analyze how this relates to an existing measure of quantum macroscopicity based on the quantum Fisher information in sev- eral examples. Both cluster states and Kitaev surface code states are found to not be macroscopically quantum but can be distilled into macroscopic superpositions. We look at these distillation pro- tocols in more detail and ask whether they are robust to perturbations. One key result is that one-dimensional cluster states are not distilled robustly but higher-dimensional cluster states are. PACS numbers: 03.65.Ta, 03.67.Mn, 03.65.Ud I.

Signature of Author: Department of Physics August 2008 Certified by: Marin Soljaˇci´c Assistant Professor of Physics Thesis Supervisor Accepted by: Professor Thomas J. Greytak Associate Department Head for Education Abstract This thesis concerns two classes of photonic crystal that differ from the usual solid-state dielectric photonic crystals studied in optical physics. The first class of unconventional photonic crystal consists of atoms bound in an optical lattice. This is a “resonant photonic crystal”, in which an underlying optical resonance modifies the usual band physics. I present a three-dimensional quantum mechanical model of exciton polaritons which describes this system. Amongst other things, the model explains the reason for the resonant enhancement of the photonic bandgap, which turns out to be related to the Purcell effect. An extension of this band theoretical approach is then used to study dark-state polaritons in Λ-type atomic media. The second class of unconventional photonic crystal consists of two di- mensional photonic crystals that break time-reversal symmetry due to a magneto-optic effect. The band theory for such systems involves topological quantities known as “Chern numbers”, which give rise to the phenomenon of disorder-immune one-way edge modes.

    A Dissipatively Stabilized Mott Insulator of Photons Ruichao Ma, Brendan Saxberg, Clai Owens, Nelson Leung, Yao Lu, Jonathan Simon, and David I. Schuster James Franck Institute and Department of Physics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 (Dated: August 6, 2019) Superconducting circuits are a competitive platform for quantum computation because they offer controllability, long coherence times and strong interactions|properties that are essential for the study of quantum materials comprising microwave photons. However, intrinsic photon losses in these circuits hinder the realization of quantum many-body phases. Here we use superconducting circuits to explore strongly correlated quantum matter by building a Bose-Hubbard lattice for pho- tons in the strongly interacting regime. We develop a versatile method for dissipative preparation of incompressible many-body phases through reservoir engineering and apply it to our system to stabilize a Mott insulator of photons against losses. Site- and time-resolved readout of the lattice allows us to investigate the microscopic details of the thermalization process through the dynamics of defect propagation and removal in the Mott phase. Our experiments demonstrate the power of superconducting circuits for studying strongly correlated matter in both coherent and engineered dissipative settings. In conjunction with recently demonstrated superconducting microwave Chern insulators, we expect that our approach will enable the exploration of topologically ordered phases of matter. The richness of quantum materials originates from and the adiabatic criterion at the smallest many-body the competition between quantum fluctuations arising gaps, which shrink in the quantum critical region and from strong interactions, motional dynamics, and the often vanish at topological phase transitions.
